    The Overview
    MF
    Michael Fulton
    Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.

    Attitash Mountain Resort's summit reaches 2,350 feet, dropping to a base at 600 feet across 68 runs spread over 311 acres near Bartlett in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Terrain splits 46 per cent intermediate, 28 per cent advanced and 26 per cent beginner, with no expert-rated runs, and average annual snowfall of roughly 61 inches. The resort carries Epic Pass affiliation. Seven lifts, including four quad chairs and three triple chairs, serve the mountain alongside one surface lift.

    Attitash operates as a genuine twin-peak resort, with terrain spanning both its original mountain and the later-developed Bear Peak, connected by a network of trails that give skiers a considerable variety of terrain to explore across the combined footprint. The resort's name, drawn from an Abenaki chief, reflects the deep regional history of the White Mountains area it calls home.

    Phil Robertson founded Attitash in 1965, opening with 41 acres, four trails and two lifts, and offering free skiing on its 26 January opening day. In 1969, the upper mountain was developed with a 5,000-foot chairlift, substantially increasing accessible terrain and tripling the size of the base lodge. The resort added New England's second alpine slide in 1976, a 500,000 US dollar investment that sold 200,000 tickets in its first season, and introduced snowmaking in 1981 with a 1.7 million US dollar system covering 110 acres.

    In the mid-1990s, Attitash underwent a major expansion with the development of Bear Peak, repurposing a partially developed 1960s ski area proposal and adding more than 100 acres of terrain, transforming the resort into a genuine dual-peak destination. Vail Resorts completed its acquisition of Peak Resorts, including Attitash, in September 2019 for 264 million US dollars. Adult daily tickets run from 89 to 139 US dollars.

    When to visit Attitash Mountain

    The 2025-26 season at Attitash Mountain Resort ran from 6 December 2025 to 5 April 2026, a roughly seventeen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 61 inches. Extensive snowmaking, dating back to the resort's 1981 system investment, supplements natural snowfall to maintain consistent conditions throughout the season.

    Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions across Attitash's twin-peak terrain. As an Epic Pass resort within the Vail Resorts network, Attitash draws substantial visitation from Epic Pass holders alongside its traditional White Mountains visitor base drawn from the broader Northeast.

    The resort's dual-peak layout, spanning the original mountain and Bear Peak, gives visitors considerable variety across a single lift ticket, appealing to families and groups seeking varied terrain. School holiday periods bring substantial family visitation given the resort's intermediate-and-beginner-weighted terrain profile. Weekend crowds draw heavily from the greater Boston and southern New England region.

    Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Vail Resorts' 2019 acquisition of Peak Resorts, Attitash has continued operating as part of the Epic Pass network, building on six decades of White Mountains skiing history dating to Phil Robertson's 1965 founding. The resort's dual-peak character remains central to its seasonal appeal.

    Getting there

    Getting to Attitash Mountain, and where to stay

    Attitash Mountain Resort sits near Bartlett in New Hampshire's White Mountains, with a base elevation of 600 feet and a summit at 2,350 feet over 311 acres spread across two connected peaks. This setting places the resort within one of New England's most storied ski regions.

    Bartlett and nearby North Conway offer extensive lodging, dining and shopping, including well-known tax-free outlet stores, within a short drive of the resort. The broader Mount Washington Valley region surrounds Attitash with additional outdoor recreation and White Mountains scenery.

    New Hampshire State Route 302 provides direct access to the resort through the heart of the White Mountains. Winter driving conditions on this route can include snow and ice, though the well-travelled state highway is regularly maintained given the resort's popularity as a Northeast ski destination. There is no direct public transport service to the mountain.

    Specific nearest commercial airport details are not confirmed in available resort information, though Attitash's White Mountains location keeps it within a reasonable drive of the greater Boston metropolitan area's major airports for visitors travelling from further afield.

    Spain Moves to Ban Smoking at Ski Resorts Under New Tobacco Law

    Spain Moves to Ban Smoking at Ski Resorts Under New Tobacco Law

    Spain's government has approved a draft tobacco law that would ban smoking across a wide range of outdoor spaces, including sports venues - a category Spanish winter sports media expect to cover ski resorts, potentially extending to slopes and lifts themselves. The rules would also apply to e-cigarettes and vaping devices, even nicotine-free ones. The bill still has to clear the Spanish parliament before any ban, signage, or fines can take effect.

    South Tyrol Approves New 16-Person Ciampinoi Gondola in Val Gardena

    South Tyrol Approves New 16-Person Ciampinoi Gondola in Val Gardena

    South Tyrol has approved a full rebuild of the Ciampinoi cable car in Selva di Val Gardena, replacing the current 12-person gondola with a 16-person cabin and a new mountain-station restaurant. Capacity is capped at 3,200 people an hour rather than the 3,600 the operator wanted, and 250,000 euros must go toward compensatory measures. No construction or opening date has been set, though the upgrade is partly aimed at clearing bottlenecks before the 2031 Alpine Ski World Championships.

    La Thuile's New Cable Car Replaces Two Ageing Chairlifts

    La Thuile is spending 38.7 million US dollars on a new 10-person cable car linking Les Suches to Chaz Dura, replacing the La Combe and Chaz Dura chairlifts after nearly forty years of service. Built by Leitner, the new cable car runs 1,950 metres to a top station at 2,576 metres, carrying up to 3,000 people an hour with a six-minute ride. It also improves the connection to La Rosiere in France via the Petit-Saint-Bernard Pass, and is on track to open for the 2026/27 season.

    The Remarkables Adds Scarpa Bowl to Its Inbounds Terrain

    The Remarkables Adds Scarpa Bowl to Its Inbounds Terrain

    The Remarkables is adding new inbounds terrain for winter, bringing the Scarpa Bowl - known locally as the Toilet Bowl - into its lift-accessed network after years as backcountry-only ground. The roughly 500 metre run is reached by bootpacking from the top of the Sugar Bowl chairlift, with a shuttle picking skiers up from the road at the bottom. It's a smaller, faster addition than the resort's planned Doolans expansion, though the new terrain hasn't opened yet due to a lack of snow this season.

    Ski Portillo Cut Off After Storm Dumps More Than 4.5 Metres of Snow

    Ski Portillo Cut Off After Storm Dumps More Than 4.5 Metres of Snow

    Ski Portillo remains isolated after an extended storm buried the Chilean resort under more than 4.5 metres of snow, with both ground and air access suspended since Tuesday while crews monitor avalanche hazards and worsening weather. Resort officials say further snowfall is expected in the coming days and haven't set a timeline for reopening the mountain road. Once access resumes, the scale of the snowpack could set up a strong season at one of the Southern Hemisphere's most historic ski resorts.
